Combat versus Noncombat Leadership

Abstract

A discussion of the importance of leadership introduces the theme, is leadership in a noncombat environment significantly different from leadership in a combat environment? Following some traditional views of leadership, a fresh focus is applied to the comparison of leadership to management and to the question, are leaders born or made? Critical combat leadership charateristics are identified and discussed leading to the analysis of the functions of the leader in combat and noncombat environments.
